Through depth therapy, I create space for self-discovery, integration, and healing that moves beyond coping and surface-level solutions to address the root causes of anxiety, depression, and persistent difficulties. Psychoanalytic work can help you understand unconscious patterns, inner conflicts, and how life experiences influence your sense of self, perspective, and ways of being. Exploration is deep, wide-ranging, and open-ended, extending across all aspects and times of life. It proceeds from the idea that our symptoms and struggles stem from an unconscious logic, which we can learn to listen to and gradually untie — freeing ourselves to live in new ways that feel more easeful, resonant, and vital. At the heart of my approach is the process of free association, which is speaking freely without filter. While this demands considerable courage and vulnerability, many come to find it exceptionally liberating, enjoyable, even exciting, as they happen upon new aspects of themselves, unexpected shifts in perspective, and a deeper comfort in being as they are. While I work with individuals navigating a wide range of concerns, I specialize in working with people navigating the lingering effects of childhood trauma, grief and loss, or difficult family dynamics, as well as those searching for a deeper sense of identity, purpose, meaning, or joy, often after destabilizing experiences such as life transitions, grief or loss, trauma, divorce or separation, breakups, infidelity, parenthood, and existential, spiritual, or religious questions. My clinical work is grounded in psychoanalysis and psychodynamic talk therapy. I completed a two-year clinical fellowship in psychoanalytic psychotherapy at Depth Counseling, where I continue to work with adults and teens both in-person and virtually. I earned my bachelor’s degree at Yale University and master's degree at the Institute for Clinical Social Work. If you are interested in pursuing this kind of work together, I’d be happy to speak with you and answer any questions you may have. Feel free to contact me via phone or email, or book a free consultation or initial session.
